Two pairs of eyes looked at each other, one pair was affectionate with joy, the other pair was calm and a little confused.
After a long moment of silence, Dongling Yuanyong raised his hand and held one side of her face and asked in a low voice:
"Why don't you speak?"
How could her eyes remain so calm as water? Was he the only one with mixed emotions?
"Your Majesty already knows everything, what else do you want me to say?"
She blinked, and his slightly smug eyes made her tone a little unhappy. She felt that she had been eaten to death by him.
Dongling Yuanyong chuckled: "In addition to your proficiency in medical skills, do you have any secrets that I don't know about?"
Before going to the palace today, he didn't know that she was going to save Xiahou Chunyan as a female doctor.
When she pretended not to understand his temptation, he thought she was not worried about his concerns, so he was actually very disappointed.
But Xiahou Chunyan couldn't afford to wait for his poisonous injury, so after thinking about it, he planned to go to the palace again as soon as he finished his work and use his internal strength to help Xiahou Chunyan continue to buy more time.
However, he did not expect that as soon as he arrived at the palace, he learned that the female doctor he sent to find him had come to detoxify Xiahou Chunyan.
As he expected, the female doctor was Ximen Yourong! But he didn't understand. Since she was willing to save Xiahou Chunyan, why didn't she admit that she was the female doctor he was looking for at the beginning?
Ximen Yourong could hear that although he was "questioning" her so-called secret on his face, there was joy in his tone, and she actually understood where his joy came from.
She smiled lightly and joked:
"Now I am transparent in front of His Majesty. No matter how much I want to pretend to be mysterious, I can't pretend to be mysterious. Is Your Majesty satisfied now?"
In the past, she didn't want others to know that she knew medicine, but it was just a mentality that it was better to do less than to do more.
As for now... looking at Dongling Yuanyong who was always smiling contentedly, her hand gently touched his thick eyebrow on the left side, and she could see that his eyes were full of the reflection of her face.
She believed that her eyes were full of him at this time. If this intimate attraction was not "love", how could each other's reflection be so easily injected into people's hearts?
She loves him...!
A moment of emotion made her lower her head and kiss his forehead. When she raised her head again, she whispered:
"I'm afraid I'll never be able to escape from His Majesty's world again...!"
A drop of sweet tears fell on the right side of Dongling Yuanyong's face. The tears could no longer feel the temperature, but they burned the tip of his heart!
He was afraid that she would be tired from lying on him, so he made her lie on his arm with a little force, then he looked at her tenderly and said almost domineeringly:
"You have stirred my heart, do you think you still have the right to escape?"
"Have I ever flirted with His Majesty?" She didn't want to wear his hat.
Dongling Yuan Yong smiled charmingly, he tapped the tip of her nose, and then leaned forward to touch her lips with hers. He said seductively and secretly without wanting to kiss:
"Your appearance is destined to make my heart fall for you!"
"That should have nothing to do with me. Your Majesty himself wants to fall for me...!"
The unfinished words lingered in her mouth. When he deeply tasted her fragrance, Ximen Yourong thought sweetly and innocently: Who seduced whom?
For Dongling Yuanyong, everything that embraces her at this moment should be the right time, the right place and the right people.
But, unfortunately, just when he wanted to completely possess her, he felt her retreat, and he suddenly lost some of his enthusiasm.
In the end, he could only reluctantly stop pursuing her, but looking at her obviously emotional eyes, he was afraid that he couldn't restrain himself, so he pushed her away as fast as possible, turned over and sat up, away from her soft fragrance.
And half naked body!
Ximen Yourong thought he was annoyed, so she climbed up and sat up and hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently tapped Dongling Yuanyong's back and asked:
"Are you angry?"
Her retreat was indeed a bit untimely, but she really didn't mean it, she was just a little scared.
Dongling Yuanyong's body stiffened for a moment because of her touch. He suppressed the "unconcerned" feeling in his heart. He was indeed a little dissatisfied at first, but when he looked back at her biting lip and slightly innocent face, he suddenly realized that he
I can't get angry at all.
However, he pulled her over and arranged her clothes, then hugged her and remained silent for a while before asking:
"Are you unwilling to be my woman, or do you have other concerns?"
I have to say that her vague rejection just now made him a little hurt. He didn't understand why she didn't want to be one with him.
Ximen Yourong, who was lying on his chest, moved her lips, but in the end she didn't say a word. She just put her hands around his waist and slightly tightened her strength to press closer to him.
She didn't know what she was hesitating about, it wasn't that she was unwilling to give herself to him, she wanted to be with him, she was really sure of this. However, her heart was a little empty, so empty that she kept shrinking back!
"I know, I won't ask or force you, I will wait for you slowly!"
Dongling Yuanyong seemed to feel her tangled helplessness, and he subconsciously tolerated her helplessness. He wanted to give her enough time to settle herself...!
That night, although Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong still failed to marry smoothly, the relationship between them actually deepened!
For Ximen Yourong, Dongling Yuanyong's tolerance was all filled with his deep affection for her. The patience he gave warmed her body and mind, and also filled many holes in her heart!
However, she doesn't know if this kind of filling is solid enough...?
Three days later, Xiahou Chunyan, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up. This day also happened to be the day when Ximen Yourong was going to have a follow-up visit for bloodletting.
This time, she did not dress up in disguise, but came to the palace with Dongling Yuanyong showing her true face.
At first, when Xiahou Chunyan, who had woken up from a coma for a long time, saw the arrival of Emperor Dacheng, he thought they were simply here to visit him.
It was not until Ximen Yourong personally gave him bloodletting to cure the poison that he realized that the person who saved him was not only Dongling Yuanyong, but also Ximen Yourong!
After another bloodletting, Xiahou Chunyan looked more energetic. With the help of his servants, he stood up and thanked Dongling Yuanyong and Ximen Yourong:
"I have heard that when I was in the most critical situation, Emperor Dongling did not hesitate to injure himself to buy me precious time to survive, and then...!"
He looked at Ximen Yourong, and his eyes were a little more grateful:
"I thought it was just folk doctors who detoxified me, but I didn't expect that it would be Empress Ximen who saved me from the fire... Empress Dongling has done a great favor. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay you twice as much!"
Ximen Yourong's face was calm. She and Dongling Yuanyong only looked at each other and smiled.
Dongling Yuanyong looked at Xiahou Chunyan and said:
"Prince Xiahou has a distinguished and special status. Our couple spared no effort to save the prince's life because we do not want the relationship between Dacheng and Xiahou to have a devastating misunderstanding. Besides, there is nothing wrong with saving a life. Now that the prince has been saved, we can feel at ease."
, and also for the peace of mind of the people of the world!"
Xiahou Chunyan understood Dongling Yuanyong's hint as soon as he heard it. When he woke up, he heard his subordinates explain everything, including that they mistakenly believed that the assassination was arranged by Dacheng.
Therefore, Dongling Yuanyong deliberately emphasized the saying that "the people of the world can feel at ease".
Xiahou Chunyan knew that even if this matter was related to Dacheng, Dongling Yuanyong would believe that there must be something hidden in it.
But no matter what, Xiahou Chunyan still looked at Dongling Yuanyong and apologized sincerely:
"After I was seriously injured and fell into coma, my subordinates were too panicked and misled, so they were ignorant and daring to make random conclusions. Please forgive me, Emperor Dongling, and don't be the same as them!"
"Prince Xiahou said that. Did he already know that the person who assassinated you had nothing to do with our Dacheng?"
When Xiahou Chunyan was assassinated, Dongling Yuanyong believed that Xiahou Chunyan was the one who knew the reason best.
But Xiahou Chunyan said:
"I'm not sure who it is related to, but it would be ridiculous to say that it was the work of Emperor Dongling."
"Why is it funny?"
"For no reason, why do you want my life? Even if you have a reason to want my life, no matter what method you choose, it is wiser than sending someone to assassinate me under your own nose." Xiahou Chunyan's face was still pale.
He smiled and continued:
"However, there is no doubt that someone wants to use my life to provoke a conflict between Dacheng and Xiahou. Just this point alone, doesn't Emperor Dongling think it is very intriguing...?"
"That's right..." Dongling Yuanyong saw that Xiahou Chunyan's complexion had improved a lot, so he turned to ask:
"Does the prince have the energy to have a private conversation with you?"
"As long as Emperor Dongling doesn't want to fight with me, I think it'll be fine!"
Xiahou Chunyan's joke immediately made everyone feel more relaxed.
When there were only two of them, they sat facing each other. In fact, they were both the same age, but Dongling Yuanyong sat on the throne of the King of God first.
But in a sense, Xiahou Chunyan's status is not lower than Dongling Yuanyong.
Therefore, facing Dongling Yuanyong, Xiahou Chunyan also had an aura of pride and dignity.
He looked at Dongling Yuanyong and said straight to the point:
"Emperor Dongling thinks that this assassination incident has disturbed you?"
"It's true. But compared to the fact that Prince Xiahou almost died, my troubles are nothing. What I want to say is, has Prince Xiahou ever thought that the assassin might not be from Dacheng, but..."
"From Xiahou!" Xiahou Chunyan did not hesitate at all: "I don't need to remind Emperor Dongling, I already know it."
"If that's the case, then it's the family matter of Prince Xiahou. Since it's a family matter, Prince Xiahou must get well as soon as possible and return to Xiahou Kingdom as soon as possible."
"Don't you think Emperor Dongling blamed me for causing you too much trouble, so he ordered me to be kicked out?"
Dongling Yuanyong listened to Xiahou Chunyan's somewhat serious inquiry, he smiled generously and said:
"If the prince is not in a hurry to go back, why should I be in a hurry?"
Xiahou Chunyan knew that Dongling Yuanyong should have good intentions to remind him that his position as crown prince was not yet stable, and it was definitely not a good thing for him to stay in Dacheng for a long time.
But Xiahou Chunyan didn't seem to be anxious at all. Instead, he smiled heartily and said:
"As long as Emperor Dongling is not in a hurry to send me, the "god of plague" away, then I really won't be in a hurry to leave. I want to see if I survive this disaster, what evil can be done by those who want my life.
Tricks to take my life."
It was the first time that Dongling Yuanyong sat and communicated with Xiahou Chunyan at such a close distance.
He knew that Xiahou Chunyan was not a simple person, and he also suspected that he had evil intentions after living in Dacheng for a long time.
If Xiahou Chunyan didn't have bad intentions to disturb Dacheng, he wouldn't mind starting to appreciate Xiahou Chunyan!
